“I wanted to reach out and say thank you for everything you do setting up and administrating these classes! I’ve been telling my writer friends and strangers at meetups about Writing Pad ‘cause I’ve had such a great experience. I’ve learned so much and gotten to work with incredible writers. And I’m so proud of the scripts I’ve written in this program — especially this last one, which was so challenging and scary to write.”
“In all my myriad of Writing Pad classes, I've yet to take one that didn't get the engines revved and rolling on projects. Writing can be a lonely business, so these incredible, practical, inspiring teachers and classes have been vital lifelines to useful feedback, to accountability and good deadlines, to a sense of fellowship, and most of all a way into your pages. I call Writing Pad Flow State University.”
“Not to be dramatic, but Writing Pad has changed my life as an artist. It’s true – I came into the Certificate Program as an actress who wanted to learn how to write decent material for herself. I was tired of receiving the same casting breakdowns for a Latina character that was stereotypical or flat. I had no idea that in the process of writing my first pilot that I would find my purpose and an entire network of people who want to help me succeed. I need and love Writing Pad. To me, Writing Pad is a community of writers and outstanding people that I will call my dear friends and my home for the rest of my hopefully long career as both a writer and an actress.”
“I'm getting my first short story published this coming Thursday in one of my favorite literary magazines. This is directly a result of my classes at Writing Pad, particularly the one on short story publishing. Publishing short stories and the wild wild world of literary magazines is something that has absolutely not been covered in my masters' program, so all of my knowledge of that comes directly from your classes. Dominica Phetteplace really helped me figure out how and where to submit. I truly cannot speak highly enough of the Writing Pad classes, as they really built the base for my writing. Writing Pad fosters a constructively critical environment where writers can both feel safe sharing their work and know that they're receiving feedback that will help take them to the next level.”
“Thank you so much for offering these classes. They have all been wonderful and so helpful in guiding me towards improving my ability to write for tv, and present myself in the best possible light. I know it is very difficult to get noticed in this competitive market, however, you are giving me a chance to compete because of the classes you are providing. I have the highest praises for you, and all of the instructors at Writing Pad. Thank you, again!!!”
